The Ultimate Blog Organizing Toolkit

Perhaps the most important place to start in your blog organizing efforts is to create an editorial calendar. This is the first post in a 2-part series that dives into everything you need to get started creating an editorial calendar. Everyone should have one of these so you never have to worry about “what” to write about! Read it here.

Part 2 in this series includes a free tracking template for Google Sheets that I use to keep my blog post archive organized.

Why do you need an archive? In this spreadsheet I keep track of things like the categories and tags posts are filed under (so you don’t end up creating duplicates) and I can see at-a-glance posts I may be able to interlink in the future, which is a great SEO strategy.

Looking to start 2019 with a new planner? I’ve rounded up my favorite free ones, including this oneI personally use. If you’re more of a digital gal, I’ve been eyeing this digital blog plannerthat you can use on your iPad!

It’s a great way to grow your blog, your audience and even free up some time while still offering great content for your readers.
